The Double-ganger

One of the main elements of our video is our protagonists (Hannah's) Double-ganger. In the video we find out by the end that a hooded figure has been following Hannah while she has been on her Journey. This turns out to be a reflection of herself (a Double-ganger). While filming we knew that we could excuse this effectively with clever camera angles and swapping of Costumes (coats). However we needed someone to come with us on our filming days to be in the camera view with Hannah, but not showing their face, otherwise the effect at the end would be ruined.
When casting we needed to keep in mind that we needed someone of a similar build to Hannah, in order for the illusion to make sense. We ended up using Paige who is in our class. As she is our friend, she is of a very similar build to Hannah and was very available to come and film with us. Her costume was very similar to Hannah, in that it is all black with a similar blue coat. However we wanted the coats they were wearing to be slightly different as allowing the audience to recognise who is the protagonist and who is the double-ganger is very important for the storyline. Hannah's coat was a lot bigger with a fluffy hood (to hide her face) whereas Paige's coat is smaller with our the fluffiness on the hood. One problem we will need to be aware of when filming is Paige's hair, as it is a completely different colour to Hannah's and if it is visible in the video, the effect will be lost.
